Permit Map

Vantage Business Tool

Build your business Licence & Regulatory Map.

Tell Vantage where and how the business will operate. The engine maps your answers against Central, State, local and sector-specific permission triggers, then separates likely requirements from matters that still need factual or State-level verification.

How Vantage reads your answers

The engine does not simply return every licence in a sector. It identifies factual triggers and then gives each item an applicability status.

Likely applicableFacts strongly point to a Central or sector-specific requirement, subject to final verification and category selection.

Further facts neededA requirement may apply, but thresholds, product category, premises, exemptions or another fact must be checked.

Check in your StateState or municipal law is deliberately not treated as uniform across India.

Optional / beneficialUseful registrations are separated from permissions that may be legally required.

Important This is a licence-discovery and issue-spotting tool. A result does not by itself establish that a licence, registration or permission is legally mandatory. Applicability can depend on current Central/State/local law, delegated rules, notifications, product category, zoning, premises, thresholds, exemptions and the competent authority. Production use should verify every result against the current official source.

Central-source review date for seeded rules: 22 August 2026. State and municipal items are intentionally expressed as applicability checks unless a State-specific database is added.
